Kadai Paneer is a bold and spicy North Indian semi-dry curry made with paneer, bell peppers, and a freshly ground spice mix. It is named after the 'Kadai' (Indian wok) in which it is traditionally cooked over a high flame. The dish is famous for its 'Kadai Masala,' a robust blend of coriander seeds and dried red chilies. It features crunchy capsicum and onions that provide a wonderful contrast to the soft paneer cubes. This aromatic and flavorful dish is a favorite in Indian restaurants, typically served with garlic naan or tandoori roti.

Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • The Kadai Masala should always be coarsely ground, not a fine powder, to provide that signature texture.
  • Do not overcook the capsicum and onions in the second stage; they should remain vibrant and crunchy.
  • If you want a more restaurant-like taste, add a tablespoon of fresh cream or butter at the very end.
  • Using fresh ginger juliennes as a garnish at the end adds a refreshing sharp bite to the spicy dish.
